Endress+Hauser Expands Production in India
Endress+Hauser celebrated the inauguration of new production facilities for flow measurement and level and pressure measurement engineering equipment in India. The celebration took place in Aurangabad, India, about 300 kilometers east of Mumbai, and included Endress+Hauser GmbH+Co KG, (Maulburg, Germany) and Endress+Hauser Flowtec AG (Reinach, Switzerland), as well as representatives from local politics and business. The new €6 million premises of Endress+Hauser GmbH+Co KG are divided into three buildings, with a total of 5,000 square meters of floor space for the production of level and pressure measurement instruments as well as logistics and administration. “Our new production facilities enable us to serve our customers in India and throughout the whole of East Asia even faster, better and more flexibly,” declared Matthias Altendorf, MD of Endress+Hauser GmbH+Co KG.

Immediately next door, Endress+Hauser Flowtec AG has invested €13 million in the extension of their production facilities for flow measurement engineering. The production facilities have been expanded by 11,400 square meters and now cover a total of 14,500 square meters. “In the past few years the Indian market has grown at a rapid pace,” emphasised Dr Gerhard Jost, MD of Endress+Hauser Flowtec AG. “With the expanded capacity, we are now ideally equipped to meet future developments. In addition, our plant houses the most precise flowmeter calibration facility in India – calibrations are a central feature of our customer services.” At these associated production centres custom-made instruments are manufactured, tested and calibrated in line with local standards. Core components are supplied by Endress+Hauser’s European plants, whilst bulky parts such as stainless steel pipes, rods and flanges are procured locally.

In addition to the Indian market, Aurangabad also directly supplies the markets of Australia, South Africa, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Japan.
